Really Surprised!

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Just before refreshing my memory of this film, I watched "The Glass Bottom Boat" , also costarring Doris. It's also a romantic comedy, but very different in tone from the present film. It includes more slapstick, and is not centered around apartments and nightclubs, as is the present film. I found it at least as amusing as the present film, and recommend that you check it out(Amazingly, it's free on YouTube). I realize that the present film was very popular in it's day, considered risque. Of course, today it seems quite tame, and even dated. It includes a few instances of slapstick. For instance, Rock tries to get in Doris's tiny sports car, but can't begin to fit all of his 6'4" frame in. So, they have to hire a taxi to get her home(So, what happens to her car they left at the nightspot?) .....The common prejudice that a desirable man should have had many girlfriends and should be sexually experienced, while his ideal wife-to-be should have had rather few boyfriends, and still be a virgin, more or less, is represented by Rock's and Doris's characters. That is one source of conflict, as judging from his use of their party line, he seems to have too many girlfriends for her liking, making him too conceited and seemingly untamable. He spends too much time talking to them, so that she can't use her phone to deal with her clients.. That's another sore point, which they more or less agree to remedy. Doris likes men who take her out and don't expect a sexual payback, men like Tony Randall(Johnathan), who keeps asking her to marry him, and she keeps saying she doesn't love him, which may be true, or just a smokescreen for the fact that she mostly likes her sexless single life. Then, she happens to meet Rock in a restaurant, not knowing what he looks like. He disguises his voice and persona as a born and bred Texan. She falls for him, until she discovers he's her hated party line neighbor. She's steaming mad at his deception, and embarrassed that she fell for it(It was quite good!). The last part of the film deals with Doris's role in redecorating Rock's apartment. She wants to get back at him for his deception and his innovative mechanical aids rigged up to facilitate his lovemaking. So she comes up with something quite garish. In turn, he wants to get back at her for making his apartment such a sight. Watch the film to find out how he does it. Then, from being hoping mad at each other, they let down their defenses way too quickly to be believable.....I didn't understand how Doris figured out that Rock the Texan was also Brad, merely by playing a note on the piano from the sheet music she found in his coat. This was a pivotal point in the story....The caper when Rock ducks into a baby doctor's office to avoid being seen, then is seen by the nurse leaving the ladies room next door, sets up the final scene in the film, when more evidence appears that he has a sex identity problem......Doris gets to sing a couple of songs, including the title song. I like the romantic song she sings when in the car with Rock, on the way to Conn.

I am a big fan of movies both modern and classic. I like many movies despite some uncomfortable moments due to changing times and beliefs. This movie, however, I found appalling. The plot from beginning to end, promotes rape culture. It does not matter if it is a well acted movie with famous stars, it still champions faulty ideas about how men are allowed, even encouraged to treat women. Ideas that still today mislead young men into thinking their behavior is not rape. Deceive a woman, that's OK, stalk her, that's excusable, forcibly break into her apartment and kidnap her, no problem as long as you propose. She'll fall at your feet and marry you too. Think that last one doesn't happen today? It happened here in Maine about two years ago. A troubled young man kidnapped a young woman thinking she would fall in love with him when he "rescued" her. The girl ended up dead. Perhaps remembering that event colored my opinion. I still maintain that some classic movies can be enjoyed over and over, even today. Others really need to be left in the past.

In New York, the interior decorator Jan Morrow (Doris Day) and the wolf composer Brad Allen (Rock Hudson) share a party line, but Brad keeps it busy most of the time flirting with his girlfriends. They do not know each other but Jan hates Brad since she needs the telephone for her business and can not use it.Coincidently Jan's wealthy client Jonathan Forbes (Tony Randall) that woos her is the best friend of Brad and he comments with him that he feels an unrequited love for Jan, who is a gorgeous woman. When Brad meets Jan by chance in a restaurant, he poses as a naive tourist from Texas named Rex Stetson and seduces her. But Jonathan hires a private eye to find who Rex Stetson is."Pillow Talk" is a delightful romantic comedy that improved my Saturday afternoon. This is the first time that I watch this movie and Doris Day and Rock Hudson show a great chemistry. But Thelma Ritter steals the movie in the role of the alcoholic housemaid Alma. The gags with the nurse and the obstetrician are also hilarious. My vote is eight.Title (Brazil): "Confidências à Meia-Noite" ("Confidences at Midnight")

I love this movie because of its unique plot, but I love it more for the stunning opulence. When most of the world were still living in dreary shacks and gray concrete buildings, America was already modern as it is today. The buildings seen in this movie would be a good architecture of a brand new building even today.But some parts of the society seems like it wasn't keeping up with the rapid modernization. Who's ever heard of a "Party Line" ? I guess people had to share a phone number because the telephone companies (or company at the time - Bell Telephone) couldn't provide as many individual phone numbers. I sure didn't hear about anything like this until I saw this movie.When people around the world saw this movie, they thought American girls were like Doris Day. It's not true, but the image stuck. And what a hunk Rock Hudson was.Everything about this movie is just beautiful. What ever happened to this glamorous society ? We're certainly living at a lower point of the curve than what's shown in this movie.A beautiful movie, that I love every part of. I wish we can go back to those times again.
